Rounding Negative Number Toward Zero

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hello,

Is there a way in VB6 to round negative numbers towards zero when the
deciding number is 5? For example, if my number is -0.245, and I would like
to round to 2 decimal places, I would like the number rounded to -0.24.
Currently, I'm using the formula below for asymmetric arithmetic rounding
which rounds the previously mentioned number to -0.25.

Formula:
CDbl(FormatNumber(myNum, desiredDecimalPlaces))

Thanks in advance!!

Jack
